Purging Process Instances

Process instances that are completed, cancelled or failed are automatically purged from the system. You can also purge process instances that have a state of Active, Halted, or Suspended.

Prerequisites

You must be logged in as a user who has been assigned the system action, Bulk Cancel/Purge Process Instance, to purge process instances.

You can either purge all process instances for a selected process template, or selected process instances.

  • To purge all instances of a process template, select the template from the Process Templates list in Process Manager, then select > Purge.
  • To purge individual process instances, select multiple process instances in Process Manager, then click Purge Selected Instances (note that Purge Selected Instances does not appear until you select more than one process instance).

A confirmation dialog is displayed as this action cannot be reversed.
